The Big Cinch embeds readers in a magic-laced St. Louis. Sean Joye is a disillusioned young veteran of 1922's Irish Civil War. Ignoring his magical insights since childhood, Sean hopes to escape fae attention, forget his assassin past, and make a clean new life in St. Louis but finds himself embroiled in the activities of an elite, magic-dabbling family. The youngest daughter, Lillian, is eager to share her secrets-as well as her bedroom-with Sean, but he falls hard for Lillian's fiancé, a WWI flying ace with a few secrets of his own. Soon he is on the run, a suspect in his lover's bludgeoning and a tycoon's murder. Can Sean tap the supernatural abilities he's long rejected in time to protect the innocent and save his own skin? Praise for The Big Cinch Think of The Big Cinch as the spooky love child of Dashiell Hammett's The Maltese Falcon and Stephen King's The Shining. Hammett gave us Sam Spade, a cynical investigator in the treacherous world of the 1920s San Francisco. Kathy L. Brown's cynical investigator is Sean Joye, an ex-IRA soldier in the treacherous world of the 1920s St. Louis. But her detective has to deal with ghosts as well. Enjoy this clever melding of a noir mystery an dark fantasy! - Michael A. Kahn, award-winning author of the Rachel Gold mystery series What a marvel Brown has created in Sean Joye, an IRA soldier-turned-River City-henchman with the uncanny ability to endear himself to just about anyone-man or woman, rich or poor, criminal or saintly, earthly or immaterial. There's nary a dull moment in his puckish, streetwise, surprisingly enlightened company. - Christopher Clancy, author of We Take Care of Our Own Sean Joye is a charmer guaranteed to seduce the reader of Kathy L. Brown's The Big Cinch. He is determined to find the truth, no matter how many hearts and laws he has to break along the way. He takes the reader into the very heart of Prohibition Era St. Louis, exposing scandals while riling spirits. You will love traveling along with this flirtatious sleuth as he pieces together all of the clues, proving that the bad boys really are more fun. - Charis Emanon, author of 51 Ways To End Your World The fae-touched IRA veteran-turned-St. Louis investigator Sean Joye returns with a vengeance in The Big Cinch, a daunting adventure that sees the St. Louis of old come to vivid life in Kathy L. Brown's capable hands. Sean's search for the missing baby girl of a wealthy St. Louis debutante leads him into an increasingly dangerous web of supernatural intrigue that touches on not only local history but the restrictive social mores of the early 20th century. A fascinating tale! - Daniel Waugh, author of Gangs of St. Louis With unencumbered prose and the sure-footed pace of a gumshoe hot on the case, Kathy L. Brown manages to blend a whiskey-dripping pair of fantastical worlds in her grainy new novel, The Big Cinch. Cinch follows Sean Joye, as he stalks the haunted streets of post-Great War St. Louis, a whole damn city built on top of an Ancient Indian Burial Ground. Joye's a Private Dick in the classic sense, but driven by a sensibility appropriate to the modern age. Part Chinatown, part Carnival Row, The Big Cinch delivers a pulpy dive entirely unique unto itself. - Paul d. Miller, author of Albrecht Drue, ghostpuncher and Albrecht Drue, Paranormal Dick. Old money. A missing child. Forbidden Love. Murder. The sights and sounds of 1920s St. Louis shines in this paranormal whodunit by Kathy L. Brown. Crisp writing and snappy dialogue are reminiscent of Cohen brothers' "Miller's Crossing" as Brown skillfully brings to life complex characters that leap off the pages. A late-night page turner, you won't be able to put this supernatural mystery down until the heart-stopping end. - Stephen Paul Sayers, author of A Taker of Morrows
Globe and Mail bestseller, The Boat People is an extraordinary novel about a group of refugees who survive a perilous ocean voyage only to face the threat of deportation amid accusations of terrorism When a rusty cargo ship carrying Mahindan and five hundred fellow refugees from Sri Lanka's bloody civil war reaches Vancouver's shores, the young father thinks he and his six-year-old son can finally start a new life. Instead, the group is thrown into a detention processing center, with government officials and news headlines speculating that among the "boat people" are members of a separatist militant organization responsible for countless suicide attacks—and that these terrorists now pose a threat to Canada's national security. As the refugees become subject to heavy interrogation, Mahindan begins to fear that a desperate act taken in Sri Lanka to fund their escape may now jeopardize his and his son's chance for asylum. Told through the alternating perspectives of Mahindan; his lawyer, Priya, a second-generation Sri Lankan Canadian who reluctantly represents the refugees; and Grace, a third-generation Japanese Canadian adjudicator who must decide Mahindan's fate as evidence mounts against him, The Boat People is a spellbinding and timely novel that provokes a deeply compassionate lens through which to view the current refugee crisis.

“A brilliant and bracing analysis of the Palestine question and settler colonialism . . . a vital lens into movement lawyering on the international plane.” —Vasuki Nesiah, New York University, founding member of Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL) Justice in the Question of Palestine is often framed as a question of law. Yet none of the Israel-Palestinian conflict’s most vexing challenges have been resolved by judicial intervention. Occupation law has failed to stem Israel’s settlement enterprise. Laws of war have permitted killing and destruction during Israel’s military offensives in the Gaza Strip. The Oslo Accord’s two-state solution is now dead letter. Justice for Some offers a new approach to understanding the Palestinian struggle for freedom, told through the power and control of international law. Focusing on key junctures—from the Balfour Declaration in 1917 to present-day wars in Gaza—Noura Erakat shows how the strategic deployment of law has shaped current conditions. Over the past century, the law has done more to advance Israel’s interests than the Palestinians’. But, Erakat argues, this outcome was never inevitable. Law is politics, and its meaning and application depend on the political intervention of states and people alike. Within the law, change is possible. International law can serve the cause of freedom when it is mobilized in support of a political movement. Presenting the promise and risk of international law, Justice for Some calls for renewed action and attention to the Question of Palestine. “Careful and captivating . . . This book asks that the Palestinian liberation struggle and Jewish-Israeli society each reckon with the impossibility of a two-state future, reimagining what their interests are—and what they could become.” —Amanda McCaffrey, Jewish Currents
NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE—The #1 New York Times bestselling worldwide sensation with more than 18 million copies sold, hailed by The New York Times Book Review as “a painfully beautiful first novel that is at once a murder mystery, a coming-of-age narrative and a celebration of nature.” For years, rumors of the “Marsh Girl” have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand. Then the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved. When two young men from town become intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new life—until the unthinkable happens. Where the Crawdads Sing is at once an exquisite ode to the natural world, a heartbreaking coming-of-age story, and a surprising tale of possible murder. Owens reminds us that we are forever shaped by the children we once were, and that we are all subject to the beautiful and violent secrets that nature keeps.
